Once upon a
time, before mirrors were invented by Venetian glassblowers in the 18th
Century, most people lived and died without ever knowing what
they looked like. I know, I know, there
are mornings when that would be a blessing.
And then, in the 19th Century, Louis-Jacques Mandé Daguerre
invented photography, and we ladies would never look upon ourselves in quite
the same way again.

Remember my post on the versatility of a brightly-colored spring skirt (see “Spring Skirts and French Apologies”)? They are one of the spring/summer essentials that should be in every woman’s closet.

Another spring/summer wardrobe essential is the floral day dress, and Uniglo, in collaboration with Liberty of London, known for its beautiful floral prints, has made the easy, breezy spring dress even easier and breezier by adding a built-in bra. Wow!! No more fretting over a bra strap slithering down your arm just when you are trying to look oh-so-chic and work your je ne sais quoi.
